kfifo: add record handling functions

Add kfifo_in_rec() - puts some record data into the FIFO
 Add kfifo_out_rec() - gets some record data from the FIFO
 Add kfifo_from_user_rec() - puts some data from user space into the FIFO
 Add kfifo_to_user_rec() - gets data from the FIFO and write it to user space
 Add kfifo_peek_rec() - gets the size of the next FIFO record field
 Add kfifo_skip_rec() - skip the next fifo out record
 Add kfifo_avail_rec() - determinate the number of bytes available in a record FIFO
